卷一·第十一章 为奴者有几个主人

数两点之间有几颗行星,就有几个主人:昼从太阳数到福点三分主,夜从月亮数到福点,双体星座里的星算两个;父母同法。

XI. On Knowing How Many Masters Own the Native If He Is a Slave.

[1] If you want to know how many own the native if he is a slave, look by day from the Sun to the lord of the triplicity of the Lot of Fortune; the number of planets between them is the number of his masters.

[2] If the native is nocturnal, look from the Moon to the Lot of Fortune; the number of planets between them is the number of his masters.

[3] Look also: if you find the Moon above the earth, count between the sign of slaves, which is the sixth place, and the twelfth place; the planets between them are the number of his masters.

[4] If the Moon is under the earth, count from the twelfth sign to the sixth in the same way as I have told you.

[5] Any planet you find in a bicorporeal sign, count double.

[6] If you want to know how many own his father, count from the Sun to the lord of its triplicity; the planets between them are the number of those who own him.

[7] For his mother, count from the Moon to the lord of the Moon's triplicity.

XI. On Knowing How Many Masters Own the Native If He Is a Slave.

第十一章 论此人若为奴,有几个主人。

[1] If you want to know how many own the native if he is a slave, look by day from the Sun to the lord of the triplicity of the Lot of Fortune; the number of planets between them is the number of his masters.

[1] 若想知道此人为奴时有几个主人:白天从太阳看到福点的三分主,两者之间有几颗行星,就有几个主人。

[2] If the native is nocturnal, look from the Moon to the Lot of Fortune; the number of planets between them is the number of his masters.

[2] 若是夜生,就从月亮看到福点,两者之间有几颗行星,就有几个主人。

[3] Look also: if you find the Moon above the earth, count between the sign of slaves, which is the sixth place, and the twelfth place; the planets between them are the number of his masters.

[3] 还要看:若见月亮在地平之上,就从奴仆之宫——即第六位——数到第十二位,其间的行星就是他主人的数目。

[4] If the Moon is under the earth, count from the twelfth sign to the sixth in the same way as I have told you.

[4] 若月亮在地平之下,就照我说的,从第十二个星座数到第六个。

[5] Any planet you find in a bicorporeal sign, count double.

[5] 凡在双体星座的行星,都算两个。

[6] If you want to know how many own his father, count from the Sun to the lord of its triplicity; the planets between them are the number of those who own him.

[6] 若想知道他父亲有几个主人,就从太阳数到它的三分主,其间的行星就是主人的数目。

[7] For his mother, count from the Moon to the lord of the Moon's triplicity.

[7] 母亲则从月亮数到月亮的三分主。

🧭 图解与讲解

本章紧接卷一第十章:此人若为奴,有几个主人。办法都是「数星」:从一点数到另一点,其间有几颗行星,就有几个主人(表二)。全章只有阿拉伯文一本,残篇无可对(表一)。古代奴隶常被转卖,主人的多少大致就是一生转手的次数。

版本对勘:单元一 数主人(§1–7,英文第 1–8 行)
句依据主要异文裁定
§1–2阿拉伯文白天数到「福点的三分主」,夜里数到「福点」,不对称照译,讲解点明,无他本可定
§5阿拉伯文双体星座加倍,与 I 17 增文同一规则前后自洽
两点之间有几颗行星,就有几个主人;落在双体星座的星算两个(第六行)
要问的人从数到行
此人(白天出生)太阳福点的三分主第二行
此人(夜里出生)月亮福点第三行
此人(月亮在地平之上)第六位(奴仆之宫)第十二位第四行
此人(月亮在地平之下)第十二个星座第六个星座第五行
父亲太阳太阳的三分主第七行
母亲月亮月亮的三分主第八行

本章的主要裁定在第二、三行。白天从太阳数到「福点的三分主」,夜里却从月亮数到「福点」本身,昼夜两条不对称。照卷一前几章的体例,昼夜规则多半成对,这里或许有一边脱了字;但没有其他本子可以核对,所以照译,只在这里点明,不改正文。

第四、五行是另一种数法:月亮在地平之上,就从第六位「奴仆之宫」数到第十二位;在地平之下,就从第十二个星座数到第六个。从第六数到第十二,经过的是第七至十一位,正是地平之上的半边;从第十二数到第六,经过第一至五位,是地平之下的半边,正与月亮所在的一侧相应。第六行说凡在双体星座的行星都算两个,双体星座即双子、处女、射手、双鱼,象征一身而二,所以加倍;卷一第十七章论母亲生过几个孩子,Rhetorius 所引也有「遇双体星座则加倍」一条,同一规则。

第七、八行把同一办法用到父母身上:父亲的主人数,从太阳数到太阳的三分主;母亲的,从月亮数到月亮的三分主。太阳主父、月亮主母,三分主又是全卷反复用的钥匙,可见卷一第十章第二十四行「父母是奴隶」的情形,这里还能再细问到有几个主人。拿本站《选集》对照,瓦伦斯卷二第三十四章论自由与奴役之命,用的是出生前朔望及其主,与卷一第十章后半相近,那一章里没有提到数主人的办法。
